Australians have come together to mourn the loss of a footy legend. In a touching tribute, football fans across the country have hung their footy club's scarf outside to honour the life of Adelaide Crows coach Phil Walsh.

Under the hashtags #putyourscarvesout and #scarvesoutforwalshy, people from rival clubs and different codes came together Friday to display their footy paraphernalia, no matter the colour of the stripe.

A symbolic gesture.

The memorial is reminiscent of the tribute #putoutyourbats for cricketer Phillip Hughes, who died earlier this year when he was hit in the neck with a cricket ball. Many around the country mourned his death by putting their cricket bats outside their front doors.

Here is a collection of the touching tributes to Walsh on what is a sad day for Australian sport.
